Administration and lessons to be learned: an OP editorial
Administration claimed two teams in Blue and White this week in Rangers and Portsmouth as the taxman continues its threat to get heavy with football clubs that don’t toe the line. With Portsmouth administrator Trevor Birch stating that many Championship football clubs were overspending on wages, it’s a worrying time for all of us who support teams with less than rock solid finances.

Delayed Accounts – update
Since the news broke that once again the end of year financial results for Birmingham International Holdings were to be delayed there has been much speculation. With this in mind I have spent the last ten days or so trying to find out if there is anything further we can learn with regards to this continued delay and if there are any sanctions that may be placed against BIH.

More Carson Legal Troubles…
It’s typical, isn’t it? Yesterday I published a piece where I included something about Carson’s mortgage case possibly being resolved… and within 24 hours, I find out it’s back in court and what I thought was happening probably isn’t. That’s why it doesn’t pay to speculate.

What’s Going On – an OP Editorial
I’ve been asked by a few people via the comments on articles here and by email what my thoughts are on the developments with regards to Hong Kong – to wit the resignation of two executive directors and the news that money has come into the club from the parent company. I’ve had some time to think about it now, and this is what I think. Please note unless I where I point out otherwise this is going to be speculation on my part and shouldn’t be treated as gospel truth.

As many of you will know, today is Chinese New Year – the year of the Dragon. With an eye on Birmingham City’s owners, I thought it might be interesting to look and see what the astrologers and knowledgeable people thought the year ahead might bring.

Steve McManaman
It’s interesting to see Steve McManaman was on the pitch for ESPN today, giving his views on the match etc. I’d have been more interested to hear what he has to say as an executive director of Birmingham International Holdings Ltd.

BIHL’s relisting announcement – the implications
Having published yesterday a link to the announcement made by BIHL in connection with the demands made by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange prior to shares in BIHL being able to be relisted, I’ve had a few queries as to what it means. As I’m only a layman also with this sort of thing I’ve spent some time reading today as to the rules and I think I have some further answers which may help.
